I live right on the border of where the RTA tax gets cutt off. People that live 2mi north of me don't pay it when renewing their tabs. We're not talking about much $$, but it does seem a bit arbitrary as to the previous rules regarding who pays for that tax, let alone it will be a long time before rapid transit makes it up into snohomish county... Having said that, anyone who has lived elsewhere and had the benefit of rapid transit realizes that the provincial mentality that has prevented road / transit improvement has this state 20-30 years behind where it should be.
